Sweet Plains is Marina Adair’s two-book series spanning from Tucker’s Crossing (2012) to Blame It on the Mistletoe (2021). The books are connected by their small-town setting and Adair’s signature warm romantic style.
Tucker’s Crossing introduces readers to a tight-knit rural community where family roots run deep. The nine-year gap before Blame It on the Mistletoe brought Adair back to the same setting with a holiday romance that pairs well with the first book but also works on its own.
Readers who enjoy Adair’s other small-town series like St. Helena Vineyard or Sugar, Georgia will find the same kind of warmth here, though in a smaller package. Both books are quick reads that lean heavily on local flavor and the kind of familiarity that comes from knowing everyone in town.
